NYC Full-time

Description

About the Role

Zenity is scaling fast, and our books need to scale with us. We're hiring a US Accounting Manager to own revenue accounting and AR/AP as enterprise customer volume grows. You'll sit at the intersection of finance, GTM, and HR, structuring deals, onboarding customers from a billing standpoint, and building process before we outgrow the one we have. You'll report into Finance and work daily with our Controller, Director/VP Finance, and HR.

This is a hybrid role in our NYC office
